RIHANNA NEW SPOKESPERSON FOR NIVEA

Speaking of Rihanna, she has just been announced as the latest spokesperson for Nivea.



The pop singer went nude for Nivea’s new campaign celebrating the cosmetic brand’s 100th anniversary.

In the photo, Rihanna sports a fresh makeup-free face; however, four of her tattoos can be seen peeking out.

“The 100 Years Skincare for Life” campaign kicks off in May with a series of celebratory events, which will coincide with the launch of Rihanna’s LOUD world tour.

RIHANNA RESPONDS TO FARRAKHAN

This past weekend, while at the annual Saviours’ Day convention at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Minister Louis Farrakhan and leader of Chicago’s Nation of Islam, “criticized the sexually charged performances of popstar Rihanna, saying they were ‘filthy’ and that people who enjoyed such antics were ‘swine,’ a description he also applied to homosexuals and lesbians,” according to the Chicago Sun Times.




So you know what our girl did...she hit up on twitter.



GV Says: She stays in the know. She may need to distance herself from Twitter a bit. All this negativity can't be good.

ARETHA APPEARS ON WENDY WILLIAMS

I still can't believe that Aretha Franklin went on the Wendy Williams show for her first post illness interview.



Surprisingly, she didn't go into too many details around how she lost 85 pounds, but she did mention some menu changes.

First things first: Lose any food that's smothered in hot sauce.

"That's off the menu now ... and no pig feet, either," Aretha Franklin said good-naturedly on The Wendy Williams Show Wednesday.

"I've been looking at a lot of pictures, and I was saying [to myself], 'You were entirely too fat for words,' " the 18-time Grammy winner said with a laugh.

"I was doing everything you could to lose that weight, and it's hard," she said. "It's just really hard. [But] you can't continue eating things that will hurt you eventually."

As for her much buzzed-about health following surgery for a mystery ailment back in December, Franklin did not specify the nature of the problem, but talked instead about how she's feeling now.

"A lot of things were said," Franklin noted of the widespread rumors about her health (most pervasive: that she was battling pancreatic cancer).

"I left that behind," she added. "And I couldn't be feeling any better than I'm feeling right now."

SERENA WILLIAMS SUFFERED FROM PULMONARY EMBOLISM

Serena Williams looked stunning at Sunday night's Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party – but, privately, the tennis ace was struggling with a serious health scare that took a dramatic turn on Monday.



Williams, 29, had been spotted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles several times over the past week.

"Monday Serena Williams underwent emergency treatment at Cedars for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation," the rep says in an exclusive statement.

"Last week, Serena suffered from a pulmonary embolism [a blood clot in the lungs] which was discovered upon her return to L.A. She had been in New York for doctor appointments for the ongoing issues with her foot."

The rep added, "Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications."

GV Says: My blessings are with her. That is very serious.

MINORITY REPORT: CHRISTINA'S MUG SHOT RELEASED

Christina Aguilera's bleary-eyed mugshot for her public drunkenness bust hit the web via E! News.

The 30-year-old singer was taken into custody "for her own protection," L.A. County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Steve Whitmore told reporters. Aguilera was a passenger in a car driven by beau Matthew Rutler, who was pulled over by cops in West Hollywood and arrested for driving under the influence.

The couple were "cooperative" during their arrest, Sgt. Michael Thomas of West Hollywood Sheriff's Department said. Aguilera, who was released around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, will not be prosecuted.

"It is a public welfare issue. She was incapacitated and not able to take care of herself," spokesperson Whitmore explained.

BEYONCE RAISES BROWS OVER BLACK FACE

Hmmmm....now this is interesting.



So Beyoncé's latest photo shoot came under fire Wednesday when images of the singer's famous face appeared in the pages of a French fashion magazine - covered in dark paint.

L'Officiel Paris chose the diva to don different colorful garbs and headpieces in a nod to Nigerian musician and human rights activist Fela Kuti in an "African Queen"-themed 90th anniversary issue.

The singer reportedly went to see the Broadway show "Fela!" - for which Jay-Z is a co-producer - and was so inspired by the music that she's even incorporated the legendary musician's sounds in her upcoming album.

Critics, however, quickly raised their eyebrows - and voices - in protest over what they deemed another instance of offensive blackface for the sake of fashion, while fans of the shoot argued that the look had artistic value.

The publication issued a statement, asserting that Beyoncé was "voluntarily darkened" and that the entire shoot was a tribute to the star's "African roots."

"The designs are all reflective of the African influence on fashion this season," the magazine said in a statement. "As for the artistic make-up, the inspiration came from several African rituals during which paint is used on the face.

"We find the images beautiful and inspiring," the editors said, defending their decision.

No one from Beyoncé's camp has yet spoken out in response to the Internet buzz.

ATL HOUSEWIFE KIM ZOLCIAK BARES HER TUMMY

Look at Kim in all her glory.



Kim Zolciak is so comfortable with her pregnancy, she's showing off her huge baby bump for all to see.

The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member graces the cover of this week's Life & Style in a purple bikini, and also appears inside the magazine in a sexy pink two-piece.

Zolciak, who is due in June, said, "I'm more in touch with my body now."

The 32-year-old (side-eye) also revealed she gained 20 pounds in her first two trimesters.

"I'm definitely eating a lot more now than I did with my girls," said the reality star, mom to Brielle, 13, and Ariana, 9.

And her boyfriend, Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann, definitely approves.

"Kroy loves me pregnant," Zolciak said. "I don't remember my ex-husband being that into it, but Kroy loves it. He tells me I'm so beautiful."

The two are planning to move in together before welcoming their new arrival.

"Kroy's perfect for me, but we're not engaged," Zolciak added. "If we get married, Kroy would like to have one more child, and I want one, too!"

KANYE IN MORE HOT WATER

Kanye, Kanye, Kanye....SMH. Why? why do you continue to talk?



He's attempting to address his thoughts on abortion via Twitter.

"An abortion can cost a ballin' n--ga up to 50gs maybe a 100. Gold diggin' b-----s be getting pregnant on purpose. #STRAPUP my n--gas!" West tweeted on Wednesday.

But he made sure to announce this hadn't happened to him, "It ain't happen to me but I know people."

His comments sent the blogosphere into a tizzy and infuriated British pop singer Lily Allen, who recently miscarried her second baby.

After retweeting West's remarks, Allen wrote, "Never has a tweet put me in such a bad mood. This is wrong on so many levels."

And Ye's tweets aren't his only personal expression that's causing controversy.

The video for his song "All of the Lights" has been pulled from YouTube over concerns that it may cause people with photosensitive epilepsy to have seizures.

"We are really pleased it has been taken down," Epilepsy Action wrote in a statement on its website. "We're not quite sure yet whether it is YouTube or Kanye West's representatives who have made this decision, or if it is a permanent move. For now we are delighted that our fears have been listened to and people with photosensitive epilepsy are no longer at risk."

JUDGE LIFTS RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST CHRIS BROWN

Two years after Chris Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna, an L.A. judge decided to give the R&B superstar a second chance.

During a court hearing in L.A. Tuesday, a judge replaced Rihanna's previous restraining order with a level one order, meaning that the exes can have contact provided Brown, 21, does not harass, annoy or molest the "S&M" singer.

According to TMZ, Rihanna, 23, did not appear in court, though her attorney Donald Etra did. He informed the judge that Rihanna has no objections to the new order.

In August 2009, L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg put a five-year restraining order in effect, which required Brown to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna. If the two planned to attend the same industry event, the proximity was reduced to 10 yards.

FINALLY.... CARMELO TRADED TO THE KNICKS

Finally, the foolishness is over....


Carmelo Anthony is headed to the Knicks and that could mean that Donnie Walsh is leaving.

James Dolan pulled the trigger on a blockbuster deal for Anthony, the Brooklyn-born All-Star forward, who for months was angling for an opportunity to join forces with Amar'e Stoudemire in New York.

The price was steep as the Knicks traded Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler and rookie center Timofey Mozgov to the Denver Nuggets. They also gave Denver $3 million in cash plus a 2014 first round pick and two second round picks the Knicks acquired from Golden State in last summer's sign-and-trade with David Lee.

The Knicks get Anthony - who as part of the deal will get a 3-year, $65M extension - Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Renaldo Balkman and Anthony Carter.

The deal was completed late Monday night when Dolan, the Chairman of Madison Square Garden, included Mozgov in the trade. The Nuggets had insisted on Mozgov while Walsh and head coach Mike D'Antoni felt the Knicks were giving up too much even without Mozgov in the trade.

While New York will be buzzing Wednesday when Anthony makes his Garden debut in a Knicks uniform, the trade will likely create massive upheaval in the front office.

Walsh, the Knicks president, was over-ruled on the trade by Dolan, who was being advised by Isiah Thomas. Walsh's contract expires in June and according to sources close to the 69-year-old basketball lifer, Walsh will walk away.

Incredibly, there were deals all throughout the NBA that were being held up essentially because of Mozgov. When informed Monday that he might be the most important player in the NBA as of this moment, Mozgov replied, "Thank you.

"You told me this," he added. "I didn't know that. I will know this. It's great. But I don't feel nothing about it."

There are reports that the Nuggets, after making any deal with the Knicks, could send Mozgov, along with another player, to the Nets for first-round picks. That would unite Mozgov with fellow Russian Mikhail Prokhorov, who owns the Nets.

While Prokhorov could end up with the two Knicks, Dolan won the border war, not only landing Anthony but keeping him out of New Jersey.

"This is Jim and the Russian and Jim does not want to lose to Prokhorov, which is why I think the Knicks will overpay for Carmelo," one league official said before the trade was completed. "It looks like they are both willing to overpay for him."

KATY PERRY WHIPS HER HAIR

Katy Perry wasn't able to make Rihanna's Bday party so she sent a message from Lisbon complete w/ a version of "Whip my Hair."

RIHANNA HITS LONDON

Rihanna looked colorful in Christian Dior on the red carpet at London's Brit Awards Tuesday. Love, love, love this look on her. So much better than some of her more risque looks. She actually picked up an award for Best International Female Artist.

RIHANNA SUED

It looks like Rihanna's "S&M" has gotten her into more trouble. In addition to being banned in over 11 countries due to its racy content, Rihanna is now being sued by photographer and filmmaker David LaChapelle for the use of his some of his images.



According to published reports, LaChapelle said that "the music video is directly derived from and substantially similar to the LaChapelle works." He also claims that the video's director Melina Matsoukas copied the “composition, total concept, feel, tone, mood, theme, colors, props, settings, decors, wardrobe and lighting” of [LaChappelle's] work."

La Chappelle says that Rihanna and Matsoukas appropriated eight of his images in the video, including one in which the singer is set against a blue background with a piece of candy in her mouth.

LaChapelle, who directed the 2005 krumping documentary Rize and has photographed covers for magazines like Rolling Stone and GQ, is suing for unspecified damages.

CELEBS PERFORM AT THE GRAMMYS

Yolanda Adams, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welch, and Martina McBride kicked off the Grammys with a tribute to Aretha Franklin. I actually didn’t love it. It seemed like everyone was oversinging and I hate to say this….looked a mess with the exception of Jennifer Hudson who not only sung effortlessly but looked great.



And Christina….what’s really going on. She’s a mess now. She used to be on point. Looks like she took a spill during the performance.



Bruno Mars, B.o.B and Janelle Monae teamed up for a performance of their tracks 'Nothin' on You,' 'Grenade' and 'Cold War.' Very retro....loved it!


Although Gaga is extra to me. I liked the song. I’m sure her little monsters ate it up.


Justin Bieber, Usher, Jaden Smith took to the stage togethe.

Usher intro'd Bieber as an earnest acoustic troubadour; we then Jayden Smith give a quick rap cameo. Usher upstaged them both (faint praise) with the electro-pop OMG workout, complete with dancers and light show.



Shocked to hear Gwynth Paltrow sing. She actually sings alright. I was scared for girlfriend in those heels though. Thank God she stayed on her feet.


Glad to see Rihanna got over her illness in time to perform with Eminem and Dr. Dre.

CELEBS HIT GRAMMY RED-CARPET

It's Grammy night and celebs are trying to stand out.

Nicki Minaj wore a kooky leopard-print ensemble topped by Bride-of-Frankenstein hair. She explained: "What they made for me is just a miraculous piece of lioness meets her cub meets fierce-ocity meets fabulosity meets fashionista meets everything."




Rihanna wore a sheer number that Ryan Seacrest drooling.


J.Lo had legs for days. I didn't like her hair though. Wonder was it humid there.


Kim Kardashian...always looks nice.


Lady Gaga knows how to make an entrance without even being seen. The 24-year-old pop star arrived early at Sunday's Grammy Awards in L.A. -- encased in a giant egg and hoisted in the air by several scantily-clad men!"Gaga is in incubation," the singer's stylist Nicola Formichetti explained on Twitter. "Tonight's performance is in collaboration with Hussein Chalayan and House of Mugler."


J. Hud looked gorgeous.


I love Kelly Osbourne's dress


Mya...long time no see.

JAMIE GETS IN A RUMBLE

According to TMZ.com, Foxx was involved in a fight at the celeb-studded bash, which featured a performance by Usher.

As the R&B singer was performing, a man speaking with Foxx "suddenly pulled Jamie down and put him in a headlock," TMZ said.

Security reportedly pulled the unidentified partygoer away from the actor-musician and escorted him out.

The gossip site reported there were no injuries and the police were not involved.

RIHANNA STILL BATTLING THE FLU

Fans will be holding their breath to see if their girl gets well enough to perform.



On Saturday night, celebrity friend-to-all Ryan Seacrest tweeted: "Hoping @rihanna will pull thru and can perform tomorrow at @thegrammys. I know she's been battling a bad case of flu. Get well riri!"

The singer is slated to perform with Eminem and is nominated for "Record of the Year" and "Best Dance Recording."

"Rihanna doesn't want to let Eminem down, but he would totally understand if she couldn't perform," a source told Radar. "The duo are scheduled to rehearse again on Saturday at Staples, but she probably won't be using her voice a lot at that time, she is saving it for Sunday night."

Rihanna pulled out of a charity concert on Thursday night, saying she had the flu.
